Been so long, it feels like I'm watching this for the time time :). completely forgot Rob Brydon was in this! :D

I can’t imagine how much tissue you go thru with all the emotions from the shows but I love it

deano88 · September 6, 2026

Remember watching a few episodes of this years ago when it first started but watched the whole thing. Gonna give it another watch with you guys 😊

A
Adam · August 23, 2026

This show starts so well. But then it turns into the James Corden show

L
Lauren Massey · August 13, 2026

Is it just me that thinks Mike looks like Matthew Horne? 🤣

S
Spob · August 12, 2026

Here again watching 1 of best reactions ever, mike n jess= legends

Jen · August 8, 2026

Just joined Patreon to start watching this, couldn't wait a second longer for it on YouTube ☺️

"Look , I don't touch that shit no more!" had the same energy as Max in Phoenix Nights. "Look, love. my body is a temple!" lol

Adam Senior · August 5, 2026

Even though I'm not a huge fan, I do really like the supporting characters. Pam, mick, gewn, Bryn.... Especially bryn

C
Claire Wedgeworth · July 25, 2026

Never actually watched Gavin and Stacey in full. I've seen clips but am glad you guys are reacting to it so I can watch it for the first time with you. Love the content as usual, would love to see some American shows you guys love ❤️

J
John · July 22, 2026

As an Englishman.. I suppose one day we'll recognise the Welsh as real... one day.... maybe...

What a great reaction you're gonna absolutely adore this show

C
Christopher Kaye · July 14, 2026

Josip Buretić · July 13, 2026

Looking forward to rewatch this with yoz guys!!

Ronnie Cassinello · July 13, 2026

I've actually never watched Gavin and Stacey. I cannot stand James Corden. But I figured I'll give it a go as I think I'm in safe company with you two!

R
Ronnie Cassinello · July 13, 2026

Well that was actually quite nice. :)

C
Chris Harper · July 9, 2026

I’ve never seen Gavin and Stacey so I’m watching for the first time with you folks so looking forward to a new experience, I think Dave the bus driver was in Harry Potter, I might be wrong

G
Gareth Williams · July 10, 2026

Correct - played Reg Cattermole in Harry Potter.

J
James Sloan · July 9, 2026

I've loved RNTV on youtube and could not wait for more Only Fools. Now getting more like this, worth it. I do not understand the hate for season 6 of Taskmaster but you need to try Blackadder starting at Season 2. The Holy Trinity of UK comedy for me are Blackadder 2~4, Fawlty Towers and Only Fools.

G
Gareth Williams · July 9, 2026

So glad you are doing Gavin & Stacey. At one time it was my go-to boxed set to watch when I was lying in bed off sick from work. I go to South Wales a couple of times a year for holidays and sometimes stop off at Barry Island on the way back to get an ice cream from Marco's cafe.

D
Darren Keighley · July 8, 2026

Just out of interest, it isn’t in the collection section? Where can I watch it please apart from through the phone app? I would prefer to watch it via the tv. Keep up the great work Mike & Jess. I love seeing some classic tv show’s through your eyes & seeing your reaction to shows we normally take for granted.

K
Kayleigh ✨ · July 8, 2026

Didn’t expect you to react to this! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 we don’t have many Welsh sitcoms.

Lew w · July 6, 2026

I love the music in Gavin and Stacey. It was the music I listened to anyway. Reminds me of going out in my early 20s.

T
TooJazzy · July 4, 2026

Please create a Gavin and Stacey collection thank you

A
Angela McClelland · July 1, 2026

Never seen this show before, even though I'm in UK - really looking forward to watching along with you both and hopefully loving the show! I never watched The I.T. crowd or Friday night dinner before either and they are now 2 of my favourites :) Have a great day everyone :)

Will Baker · June 30, 2026

Ive met Joanna Page (stacey) multiple times as she's a friend of a friend and she is genuinly the nicest/funniest/craziest human being you could ever meet. She can transform a 2 second small talk question into a 20 minute story so easily and is so happy to talk about everything she's acted in without coming across as boasting or having an ego at all.. My favorite example of this is to listen to her interview on Rob Brydons podcast.. Rob asks her the most simple question and it turns into a 30 minute hilarious story without Rob saying a word

David cox · June 30, 2026

So happy you liked it...it just gets better

C
Cgal · June 30, 2026

It’s just really good. Simple.

This is a brilliant show 👏 your going to enjoy it.

David Williams · June 27, 2026

You'll love it and so will your community. Apart from OFAH this is probably our most popular sitcom.

N
Neil · June 26, 2026

So happy you guys are watching this.

David Galloway · June 26, 2026

Someone may have already mentioned this (too many comments to scroll through), but Joanna Page (Stacey), was also in Love Actually, opposite Martin Freeman.

A
Andrea L · June 26, 2026

So excited for this! ☺️

What a wonderful first episode and you guys are going to love it. I'm so excited to see that 🥰

G
Graham · June 26, 2026

It’s amazing how weird the smoking looks to me now that we’ve gone some years without it being a thing in tv shows anymore. Just shows you how your perception can change. When it first aired it probably wouldn’t have stood out to me. There’s more smoking here than there is in Peaky Blinders 😂

T
Tom Walsh · June 26, 2026

Best show ever

M
Matgo Styles · June 26, 2026

20 million Brits watched the finale of Gavin & Stacey - let that speak for itself over any negative comments.

s
saddie · June 25, 2026

“His breath is rank and mines not much better” I FINALLY found that reference! A lesbian made out with me at a staff party. She didn’t appreciate my pancake flavoured vape juice breath. If I’d known a lesbian was gonna go digging for my tonsils I’d have popped some gum or something. I miss house parties. Thanks for introducing me to this show 😂

J
Jack Newton · June 25, 2026

Yesss I loved this show growing up and still reference some of the jokes to this day! Hope use enjoy it

Dave Beverley · June 25, 2026

Never watched the show. Knew next to nothing about it aside from who was in it. Never understood why it was popular but i'll give anything a chance & i really enjoyed that episode.

A
Andy R · June 25, 2026

Mathew Horne must have been relieved when James Corden started getting negative press, stopped people talking about the Alan Carr interview

B
Billy · June 25, 2026

nobody likes corden. everybody loves smithy. You will LOVE this show

N
Neil M · June 25, 2026

I didn't watch G & S until a couple of years ago but loved it, looking forward to enjoying again

P
Paul Turner · June 25, 2026

So so pleased you guys decided to watch this. Knowing you both, I think you will love it. It’s one of those masterpieces of writing. I’m surprised in fact shocked at a lot of comments about the show. I know a lot of people don’t like James Corden, but this was before his ego exploded. The writing is fantastic, the chemistry is amazing, the music is wonderful and it’s so brilliantly British. I think you will be hooked on this one.

T
Tony Bremner · June 25, 2026

OMG what a great surprise to see when I switch on its a slow burner but totally worth it

C
Conal Dowling · June 25, 2026

So happy you guys got round to watching this show one of my favourites it has everything you want from a show!

M
Mark Rudd · June 25, 2026

James Corden and rob Bryson are the only reason this show is worth a watch. Can’t stand this show but I’m gonna watch along see if I can change my mind on it

S
Sarah Walker · June 25, 2026

This is such a good show. One of my favourites and people should get over themselves if they don't like a particular person that stars in it. I see Smithy, not James Corden. I feel it is all characters around Gavin and Stacey that make it a success rather than Gavin and Stacey themselves. I do like Gavin tho. Nessa is my favourite and then probably Pam and Michael, they bounce off each other so well.

G
Gavin Paterson · June 25, 2026

Appreciate that people like this show. Everything has something for someone. But for me personally, much like The Office (which i personally think is Ricky's worst work), its up there with the worst of the British comedies

P
Paul wardale · June 25, 2026

Don't know why the hate Its a great show Enjoy

C
Christopher Horner · June 29, 2026

John is a dick, ignore them.

J
Jay Jay · June 25, 2026

D'ya know when I seen you were reacting to 'Gavin And Stacey' I rolled my eyes because of my opinion of one particular person being a prick,remember watching it back in the day and this reaction was great,totally forgot the emotions of this show and the amazing soundtrack..looking forward to watching the series with you both🙌🍻x

F
Fay · June 25, 2026

Ahh finally!! Looking forward to watching you guys see my home town of Barry Island, even though most of its filmed in Barry 😅

tania P. Bear · June 25, 2026

I am so happy right now. Thank you so much for giving this the chance it deserves, I know you're going to love it as much as I do. Yay!

F
FRiEdCPU · June 25, 2026

Here for it, watched it 3 or 4 times on my own and now with 2 reactors. James Corden is great in this, people need to learn to seperate the person from the art.

Mike Quick · June 24, 2026

I'm a long time subscriber of your channel. Love you guys.... I actually lived right across the road from Gwen's house when they were filming the first series... It's called Trinity street and it is incredibly steep .. This is a chilled heart warming comedy of the highest standard,, Ruth Jones is so talented

D
Drew · June 24, 2026

So excited for this! Its filmed and set in my hometown 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Amir Akram · June 24, 2026

Orite whats occuring ha

K
Kingy · June 24, 2026

Mike on a separate note mate, are you planning to keep the Thursday Taskmaster reaction slot going all the way through, or will you swap it out for something else at some stage? It’s just what with one episode a week, it wouldn’t reach the latest episode Series 21 Episode 10 until roughly 2029 🙃

D
Darren Steele · June 24, 2026

I knew you'd love it as soon as someone added it to the list. Ignore the detractors. It'll be character building for them.

D
Darren Steele · June 25, 2026

Hahahahaha. Who's your favourite Smithy or Gavin?

J
Jan sutton · June 24, 2026

Gavin and Stacey is amazing … it’s all about side acts …

Dawn · June 24, 2026

I dont wanna say too much as I feel everyone seems to have an opinion but I would say enjoy it. Don't read the comments and I am gonna watch with you. Much love ❤️

Glenn Standen · June 24, 2026

Wots occuring peps.....Was working in Billlericay Essex one day, finished 8pm, Just for a bubble, drove to Barry Island Beach to see if I could get a pint in before the pub shut. 2.5hrs later smashed it, just b'coz of this show and the shear hell off it. Great times, enjoy the characters, the whirl wind story, The Show🤘😎 and yes stood on the spot and drove straight back again to start work the next morn. 🤦‍♂️ #bucklist ✅️

S
Spob · June 24, 2026

Hi highly doubt anyone on here has actually met james corden in real life myself included, all we know is random reports that he was little rude or something with no context, i dont understand how that affects his body of work as an actor and hate ordislike for a show, its nonsensensicle, many famous people have been charged or paid out of court for horrendous crimes n they get clean slate.so silly, was an incredible show which he wrote with ruth jones nessa, i get the like or dislike is on personal opinion but just watch n then fairly judge it. It didnt get tuned in over christmas by a record amount because its a poor show. Use ur brain guys

J
Jaay · June 24, 2026

This is pure comfort in sitcom form and very British (positive). Not the funniest, not the most clever/witty, but extremely rewatchable and you will fall in love with the characters and the entire family dynamic. And this is coming from someone who absolutely despises James Corden.

K
KC Pawsy · June 24, 2026

Can’t wait for you to start dressing like Bryn and Nessa!!!

This is going to be great!

B
Ben Isted · June 24, 2026

Gavin & Stacey isn't as laugh out loud funny as The Inbetweeners or Peep Show, but it's just so damn comforting to me, like a bowl of hot soup. I love the character interactions and the romance is so sweet, gives me a bunch of nostalgia for that mid-00s period in the UK.

M
Matt · June 24, 2026

Rich Cotter · June 24, 2026

Will make a little prediction... By the end of this series.... Jess and Mike will definitely have Barry Island on their bucket list of places to visit, when they come to the UK. 💯

Such a sweet, heartwarming sitcom.

D
Dean Maycock · June 24, 2026

You’re going to really enjoy this show! A lot of references to old British celebrities, tv shows etc may go over your head but just enjoy it, a real feel good family series! Glad you’re getting to enjoy a British treasure such as this!

N
Nicola · June 24, 2026

Yay! 😬 Great reaction to ep 1, I just know you're both gonna love this so much! So many more hilarious and touching moments to come

J
Jamie H · June 24, 2026

This show gets far too much hate. It’s good (the later Xmas special not so much, imo). But the core seasons are decent. People just don’t like James Corden.

O
Orlando Trustfull · June 24, 2026

New thread just to say I cannot imagine having the f**king patience that Emma and Daz have, not just on here, but on the cesspit that is YouTube. Not only for people saying "Not a spoiler" and then spoiling something, but also just being nice and level headed about it.

E
Emma Edwards · June 24, 2026

It’s actually quite therapeutic making the bad comments go away 😂 People have known for months that Gavin & Stacey is coming, there’s been plenty of opportunity to express negative opinions (which they have), but it’s here now and this is not the place to do it. It’s time to just let the people who like it, enjoy it in peace 👍🏼

J
James Copson · June 24, 2026

Oh my you will not be disappointed. One of the best British shows ever

P
Paflad · June 24, 2026

It's a true test of how wholesome and friendly a community a channel has built up when they start covering G&S. Episode 1 is almost always full of people who have never commented before piling in to slag it off and harass anyone who defends it. Not here though, the RegenTV crew "pass the vibe check" as I'm assured the kidz with a Z say

J
Jackdeel🔱 · June 24, 2026

amazing programme nessa brynne and pam are stand outs

B
Buckz990 · June 24, 2026

Everyone loved James Cordon AKA Smithy when this came out so please when you watch don't think of him as he's seen now he's a brilliant character an absolute legend!

Yes finally been waiting for this!!!

J
Josh Greifer · June 24, 2026

Well, M&J, you did it again, as you did with The IT crowd - introduced a Brit to a classic Brit comedy! Like you, I'm watching it for the first time, and I loved it! x

1
1234543219804def · June 24, 2026

This show seems like Marmite to most people, and here I am somewhere in the middle, ranking it borderline top 15 favourite sitcom. Fortunately, those that don't like it can do literally anything else instead of watching and commenting.

R
Rachie · June 24, 2026

Joanna Page (Stacey) is in Love Actually with Martin Freeman aka Tim from The Office.

G

not even close.

R
Ryan Totney · June 24, 2026

Just because James Corden is a nob doesn’t mean the show is bad. I can fully understand why people dislike James Corden but this show is top tier as far as British TV is concerned.

H
HillBillyPhilly · June 24, 2026

Not sure if you clocked that Ruth Jones Co writer of the show plays Nessa

G
GoodGameGoodGame · June 24, 2026

Orlando Trustfull · June 24, 2026

This is no fault of yours, and nothing to do with you or the show, but Patreon on mobile absolutely stinks. You try to reply to someone in a comment thread, and it makes you automatically reply to the person who started the thread. Dagnabbit, am I becoming a boomer or does Patreon need to get their act together?

C
Callum McDermid · June 24, 2026

Never saw this, as the adverts for it looked awful. Then learned James Corden was the worlds largest twat. So avoided it like the plague. Ok, here goes... gonna give it a fair crack.

Olivia Marshall · June 24, 2026

Just out of interest, does anyone know what show they will finish next - I thought it might be Friday night dinner but there is only 3 series of father ted and they are already on season 2

I believe FND will finish next- they only have 7 episodes left iirc

R
Ryan · June 24, 2026

After work, I think I’ll give this series a go. I’ve never seen it before. Don’t even know what it’s about 🤣 (Nothing to do with James Corden, I’ve just never seen this show before - Tbh, I don’t even know the gossip around Corden tbh. Never looked into it!)

J

One of the most popular shows in the UK for a reason, so many good characters! It was so obvious Mike and Jess were going to love it

H
Harrison Connew · June 24, 2026

Fun fact: The title characters’ surnames (West and Shipman) was an inside joke between James and Ruth and they were inspired by two british serial killers, they got through multiple episodes of filming before someone said something 😂

You guys are the best! All the best!

B
Baalegdeh · June 24, 2026

Gavin & Stacey is great, and it's just considered "trendy" to hate on it these days due to Corden. His character in this is great and it's who we wish he really was

T
Thomas · June 24, 2026

100% I bet some of the people being so vocal about him are actually secretly watching this. They just like to virtue signal and say no one should like this show because of JC. Well sorry, but I love G&S and don't care. 🤣

The side characters are what make this show. I’m so excited for them to meet Pete and Dawn 😂

Smithy is a legend in Britain james corden is a villian in Britain.

Gavin is the principal of a show bad education worth a watch very funny.

Gav Hunter · June 24, 2026

Glad to see this on the channel

D
Daryl · June 24, 2026

Corden is a monumental prick but he's still brilliant as Smithy. It's easy to separate the two and just enjoy the series.

D
David · June 24, 2026

It’s a stupendous series. Great story-telling and beautifully conceived and written. It was huge when it first aired and gripped the nation throughout its series’ and specials. For some reason, that completely escapes me, it recently became ‘the thing’ to hate James Corden and, by association, anything he is/was involved with. Which denigrates all the other actors, Ruth Jones his co-writer and the wonderful screenplay. I never jumped on the bandwagon. You’re going to love every episode. It is a glorious journey discovering all the characters and the love, tears and fun along the way. I’m so pleased you’re watching it, as it allows me to see it again anew.

kev carroll · June 24, 2026

i wouldnt say it was the thing to "hate" james corden, there was a bit of a scandal when he was vile to some wait staff in the hospitality industry, and then people have noticed things since that. he still did a great job with smithy, but hes not liked.

N
Nik · June 24, 2026

OMG

S
Steven Murphy · June 24, 2026

I think you will both enjoy G&S very much. According to the BBC, the final episode was the UK’s most-watched scripted show across all broadcasters and streamers since current records began in 2002

Chaitra · June 24, 2026

Nessa and Bryn are my favourites but this is one of the great character-driven shows!

Jess will love the love story as she's such a romantic 💕

Mark McKeown · June 24, 2026

Oh my Christ! Excited for this! I was at Barry Island this time last year and it was absolutely mobbed, but always fun seeing locations in real life.

hannugannu · June 24, 2026

obviously the show is okay, but it is just baffling that it is the most popular uk show

C
Christopher Horner · June 24, 2026

It’s baffling to you that lots of people like something? You must be in a permanent state of bafflement.

S
Stephanie Pedley · June 24, 2026

Yay!!!! So excited for this x Have watched so many times and am really looking forward to your reaction. Gonna ignore any hate. We all like different things ❤️ Can’t wait to see Jess in a Nessa wig #Jessa

James Corden is sub human scum, but if you get past that the shows ok

Doris might well be the best side character in comedy history, dont worry youll see a lot more of her

K
Kate H · June 24, 2026

I’m SO glad you guys decided to go ahead with this show, cutting through all the negative noise. People love to hate it for some reason. It’s one of my favourite shows because it has its dramatic moments but it’s SO full of heart and has characters you see in your own life. I think Wednesdays might become my new favourite day ❤️❤️

Kathy Hills · June 24, 2026

I haven't seen this first episode for years, even though it's been pretty much on repeat on some of our TV channels over here on and off for ages. Forgot how funny it was. Smiffy and Nessa wrote this entire series together over the years and did a great job. So glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next one.

O
Orlando Trustfull · June 24, 2026

I stayed on Barry Island for the 2005 League 1 playoff final when Sheffield Wednesday played Hartlepool. One of the best weekends in my life, even though me and my mate had to sleep in the foyer of the BnB because the guy double booked. Imagine having a massive hangover and waking up to complete strangers walking around and staring at you, while you're half awake on a sofa near the front door. Good times.

B
Becki · June 24, 2026

I was sceptical about this I used to watch Gavin and Stacey but then went off it for years but I bloody loved that! Now I’m remembering bits and pieces and I’m totally here for it ✌️🤍

Matthew Bate · June 24, 2026

It's such a feel-good show. You're gonna really love Rob Brydon in this show.

Tim · June 24, 2026

Never seen this before, it's quite corny, but in a sweet way. Just going to pretend that Smithy isn't James Corden 😂 I would be grateful if Mike doesn't dress up as post coitus Smithy for the next episode 😂

R
Rach · June 24, 2026

Honestly the fact that Corden wrote this, and acted well enough in it that people love Smithy - shows he does have talent and it seems all the cast like working with him. Makes you wonder what so wrong afterwards that he ended up with such a reputation as a talentless dickhead.

S
Simon Charlie · June 24, 2026

Knew you'd like it! And, imo, it's veery strong all the way through. So funny when all the Welsh fam and the Essex fam meet.

No spoilers! 😂

C
CorporalFriendlyShark · June 24, 2026

12 minutes in and there’s “so many likeable characters so far” You have no idea, we still haven’t met half the cast and they’re all fantastic.

M
Matthew Hunt Davies🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 · June 24, 2026

I love this show. Some of the conversations just feel so real. I could go down to Barry today and bump into these people

C
Chris Howard · June 24, 2026

How that cheese got you at the end surprises me

R
Rach · June 24, 2026

I'm so glad you're both doing it! It's one of those shows that's so popular yet somehow feels underrated, but imo this show is so quietly witty, and the observational stuff is spot on, especially if you know people like the characters. I think the romcom nature and some of the more OTT smithy stuff puts people off to the point they don't see it sadly.

J
Julian · June 24, 2026

Yeh I think it’s masquerading as a Romcom but there’s more beneath the surface.

J
Jack Mainprize · June 24, 2026

That's me gone for a while. Will check back from time to time, to see what other shows you discover (would LOVE Red Dwarf, but I realise that's quite niche.). anyway, thanks for the enjoyment up till now. Catch ya later.

S
Sean Martin · June 24, 2026

Really red Dwarf!! I would go missing if that garbage was reacted to ,especially because Craig Charles is in it.

Neil's Old Radios · June 24, 2026

I think Mike nailed it re. Gavin and Stacey not being the strongest characters. I didn't start watching this until it was in S2, when someone suggested I'd like it. It took me a few episodes to get into it. Watched it many times since 🙂

J
Joey Martin · June 24, 2026

I've always said I won't watch this until AI has advanced enough to replace James Corden with David Jason in every scene but I am tempted now.

J
Jay Lo · June 24, 2026

Perfect example of why you should ignore all the noise. Forget opinions on idividuals and just enjoy. Looks like you guys loved that.

BrokenCreative49 · June 24, 2026

YES!! This is THE defining British comedy of the 21st century, imo. Not my favourite, but in terms of capturing life in the UK at a particular moment, it's amazing, and true.

So, the journey begins. So many different characters that you will love. So many catch phrases you will learn, and probably start using in every day life. 😁

I
Ian P · June 24, 2026

Good to see the negative comments are in the minority so far. I just don't get why people feel the need to take time to come on here and tell us they don't like the show. I don't like some of the shows that are reacted to on here, so all I do is not watch the reactions to any of those shows. Easy 🤷‍♂️

O
Orlando Trustfull · June 24, 2026

I don't know why people feel the need to tell us about the things they don't like.... oh, by the way, I don't like Peter Kay 😂

P
Peter Fletcher · June 24, 2026

I have a love/hate relationship with this show. I hate some of the way it's written, a lot of the characters, the cringe-worthy needle drops but that's also what I LOVE about it. It also has one of my favourite Christmas specials of all time (the first one). I'll be tuning in every week.

B
Ben Dunning · June 24, 2026

This is the way people should respond and then if it's not for you it's not for you. Glad you're giving it another go. I did the same with Still Game. Tried it a couple of times. Not for me, but I know other people clearly like it.

See this is why you don't ever listen to the snowflakes who tell you not to watch something just because they don't like a particular actor. You form your own opinion, I knew you guys would love this show.

In their defence, thinking that James Corden is a bit of an arsehole, doesn't make them a "Snowflake"

lewis mcmurray · June 24, 2026

I absolutely adore Gavin and Stacey; so funny, so much heart, such great characters. People just moan about it because James Corden’s a knob, and I agree, I can’t stand him in real life either 😅 but I love me some Smithy, and this is one of the UKs best modern comedies.

J
James Flood · June 24, 2026

Oh well. No Red Dwarf.

D
Daz Parker · June 24, 2026

They're aware of Red Dwarf but haven't committed to that yet- that would have to go on the poll (and hopefully win) when they next have a slot open that hasn't already got a show voted for it

Exactly. Also, if you don't like it, you don't need to tell us.

Iain · June 24, 2026
